Question

1. \according to recent studies, regular exercise can reduce the risk of heart disease by up to 50%.\ which rhetorical device is being used?

options:
pathos
logos
ethos
rewatch

Explanation:

The statement cites "recent studies" and a numerical statistic (50% reduction in heart disease risk) to make its claim. This relies on factual evidence and logical appeal, which is the definition of logos. Pathos appeals to emotion, and ethos appeals to credibility/authority of the speaker, neither of which are used here.

Answer:

Logos
